It's not "GTA4" nor is it trying to be but it does borrow some elements from the game to create one of the cheesiest and most playable games of the year so far, its just not as fully realized as it could have been.

Total Overdose is certainly fun if all you're after is a quick blast and something that doesn't tax your mind meat, but it isn't nearly as multi-faceted as it thinks it is. [PSW]

Its repetitive structure and bland storyline creates a somewhat shallow experience, yet at the same time there’s depth to be found in the combo combat system and the many side missions to partake.

RESUMO: Um jogo de mundo aberto aparentemente normal, pequeno e com poucas interações, com poucos personagens lembráveis exceto o protagonista. O qual tem uma boa dose de humor. Mas a histório fica em segundo plano, mesmo com suas reviravoltas e maluquices.O ponto forte é a gameplay. Muito frenética e divertida, com momento onde o tempo desacelera (tipo Max Payne). ENREDO: 6
GRÁFICOS: 8
JOGABILIDADE: 9 COMEÇO: 7

The gameplay, the story, the graphics, the music, the voice acting ... it’s all imbued with such a central sense of style that the game just pops.

The driving and free-roaming elements leave a bit to be desired, but the storyline is a fresh change of pace and the developers got the atmosphere down for the game to a T.

Total Overdose does not boast the richest and silkiest of graphics, yet it does have 20 levels of gameplay with an appropriate B-movie feel. Although the game’s longevity may be in doubt, its ability to engross is assured.

still a fun romp, and that's what matters most. [Holiday 2005, p.76]

If ever a game deserved the description of “Xtreme” or some spelling variation thereof, it’s this one. Total Overdose takes every stale action game stereotype and cranks it up to 11, presenting a game that’s lame and self-parodying, but despite that still manages to be fun--fun enough for a rental, that is.

A nice looking, functional 3rd person action shooter. But the similarities with existing and even classic titles, plus a lack of any real innovation at all hardly makes Total Overdose stand out a mile for the more experienced gamer.

Screw gta San andreas, this game should be getting the HD remaster, everything about this total overdose is just pure gold, the storyline, the combat, and the characters, I'm already halfway through this game because is just so great, the combat is some of the most insanely fun I've ever experienced, shooting down a group of six enemies using the bullet time inspired shoot dodge mechanic is just so satisfying, although the city of los tores isn't that interesting to explore compared to Los Santos in gta San andreas, and the graphics could probably do a bit better, but neither of those things matter, because you have an incredibly fun and manic Mexican themed open world game with A lot to do and shoot :) I'm so glad I picked it up when I did because the amount of time I've sunk into this game is untrue, and unlike gta san andreas , the missions don't piss you off with how hard they are, because total overdose is perfectly balanced In terms of difficulty, definitely worth getting and playing, you will not regret it, because I certainly don't :)
